first put soapy water or wd40 or something equivalent to that on the bead and then stand on the tire around to bead and use a flate blade screwdriver and push were the tire is on the old rim while still standing on the tire that should do it and make sure its all the way flat it always werks for me :thumbsup:
I spent over an hour trying to remove a carlisle indian head tire from an old bonanza MX rim...those tires have a steel cable in the tire that is right up against the rim...only way I got mine off was to cut the cable, without damaging the rim of course. GOOD LUCK I remember that thing pissin me off big time. I even had the thing mashed in a large vice.
I am going out of town this weekend to pick up a mini I got off the bay. I will soak them down with wd40 and let them sit while I am gone.

I had some atc 110 split rims that the tires did not want to come off. I used a propane torch and heated the metal lip of the rim carefully so not to wrap them and used my tire irons to get the tire off, It toke a while,but work. Then I had to wire wheel down the rims after i was done They were in need of repainting anyways. I guess this might not be good on aluminum rims.
GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took a Hand Saw the kind that you prune thick tree limbs with. I cut a 4" to 5" gap out of the tire. Pulled ot the Tube. Cleaned up all the water that came out.:wink: then I took my angle grinder:grind: and carefully, at an angle cut through the Wire Bead. Once I was through the tire came right off!!!!!!!! It actually only took about 20 min max.:thumbsup:
WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula.
Some things I have used work better:wink:

This is what I use for split rims, works fast every time:- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices Good Luck.
Why not spend $27 dollars and buy a product that will last a lifetime and will make it a snap. Really good if you do allot of tires, correct term for a tool that gets stuck tires of rim is "Bead breaker". If you're having allot of trouble and your rims are split rim type. Take out all bolts, put a tire spoon on one side and give it a good push against the rim, this will take the side your pushing against off and tire will come off easy.
Here is a good bead breaker and the one that I was talking about.
